A slightly special Borsalino.
The quality denomination is rarely used "Borsalino Qualità Victoria" with a rather unusual coat of arms on the lining
Marketing is always present in Borsalino production.
The hat was made during the 60s or early 70s.
It is size 7 or 61 centimetres, quite wide...
When I find a Borsalino like this one which has all the characteristics of being a normal hat produced about twenty years ago and instead turns out to be a little gem I feel happy for having "studied" the production of the Alessandria company enough to know how to choose
The hat was, perhaps...
I think it is more younger. Around Sixties or early Seventies.
It is a very nice hat and arrived from Balbi shop in Naples where the US Army (Navy) based in Bagnoli bought hats for less than in the US
It is true Joe, one of the rare crossovers I have in my collection of clear US origin.
I should have opened a branch in the States with an agent expert in American hatmaking to complete my collection :)
I'll think about it again, thanks in the meantime.
Stetson made in Europe under license
The hat came from an exchange with Stefan (Steur) and becomes one of the representatives of US shaped hats in my collection.
Excellent Stetson made in Lizeng - Germany. There are no other indications of color or size, however it is fine for my head 59-60...
Before a family lunch I approached this Borsalino Nutria
I was so pissed at the seller that after I got the hat back into shape I didn't look at it again for days.
Already badly placed in the seller's photographs, it arrived completely crushed like a sandwich.
Borsalino Nutria with the words...
Molto bello!
It is difficult to speak about the quality of felt with velour finish made in Italy because it has never been a priority of the manufacturers. Certainly excellent velour felt, mainly short pile or Antilope or Pesca, was produced before the Second World War, then the supply was often...
Prego Stefan. I plan to see it as soon as possible in a splendid version despite its name
This hat is a small enigma among the many hats produced in Italy or imported into Italy.
I will make a comparison with the "Cabella" bowler and then I will look for the solution
Thanks Joe. The hat has a...
One of the black hats from many years ago that I really like and have given a lot of research to in recent years
This has no name, the patch inside the crown has faded over the years.
It is a mixture of wool and fur and features two writings in bas-relief on the sweatband.
"The Perfection"...
It is the weekly ranking of the most listened (worn :) ) singles of the week.
Here are my top three places, despite the "Misto Nebbia" being quite foggy!
Marcel, the Ediston was the Panizza's swan song. The ultimate excellent hat made on the Lago maggiore bank
Steve I like the contrasting colors in Borsalino Lobbia. This one particularly
Today the clouds chased each other throughout the morning threatening rain.
In the early afternoon they continued their dance with some rays of sunshine.
We took the opportunity to go and see the riot of green foliage.
The hat is a size 6 or 59 cm. Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore found in...
Yesterday the day was gloomy and the rain came in various stages
Walk with Borsalino cap.
It is a stock fund purchased in a small lot with a risk.
The only one I could wear, the other caps were beautiful Barbisios that I gave to my daughter.
It is cold in Italy after a fake summer. The snow...
Mossant in sunshine - Herbert Johnson bowler - Panizza Oro. The personal Daniele podium
This is also a solicitation to change rotation of hats :cool: There is certainly no shortage of material
